Project definition
Background and objectives
· Provide a
ief background to the project and how it came about (summarise the situation and explain why you are preparing a business case)
· Include in here a summary of the cu
ent IT situation (including mission critical systems) and issues you have identified based on Gaming Galore’s email response (which will be provided after you have drafted your ICT survey – Appendix A of this document)
· Issues identified should include any legal, ethical or organisational (day-to-day operations) issues caused by the cu
ent IT system
· Summarise your objectives / goals for your project – what are you hoping to improve? Project objectives should be SMART, i.e. specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound.
· So in summary: cu
ent use of IT, identification of IT needs,
ief discussion of gaps noticed between the two and statement of your goals.
Outline Project Business Case
Relationship to Gaming Galore strategies and objectives
· Continuing on from 1.1, you should theorise as to Gaming Galore’s objectives as a legal entity running as a ‘for profit’ business, and identify how your goals will assist Gaming Galore in meeting their objectives.
· Explain how the project will support the achievement of Gaming Galore strategies, plans and programs.
· Given that this is a case study and not a real business, you are not expected to invent strategies and objectives. Assume that Gaming Galore shares objectives typical of “for profit” organisations (eg. to meet legal obligations, maximise revenue and reduce expenses, make timely & valid decisions).
Business options
· What different options could satisfy the goal of the project? There are three basic business options concerning any investment – do nothing/do the minimum/do something more substantial.
· You are required to address a minimum of “Do nothing” and “implement one cloud solution”, but you may like to add more if you think more than one cloud offering will produce a better result
· A suggested approach is to consider a cloud accounting system (such as Xero or MYOB Essentials) and/or a cloud file storage system (eg. Dropbox or Google Drive)
This section should contain a
ief summary of two or more cloud solutions. You should compare and contrast at least two cloud accounting systems and choose one that is suitable.
Cloud accounting system 1
(Insert Name)
Cloud accounting system 2
(Insert Name)
Cost
Support
Efficiency gains
Legal compliance
Security /privacy/ confidentiality
Etc…
etc…
The business options concerning this investment are:
Description
Advantages
Disadvantages
Maintain cu
ent system
Input your proposed cloud improvement option
The recommended option is
.
Benefits
State here the expected outcomes of the project in terms of benefits it will provide to the organisation. This statement forms the heart of the business case and needs to be carefully presented and phrased in outcomes, not outputs. Benefits can be financial or non-financial.
Expected change
Expected benefits
Performance measure
Indicative timeline
Owne
State the change that will be derived from using the project outputs
State the measureable improvement resulting from an outcome that is perceived as an advantage by one or more stakeholders
How will the improvements in performance be measured?
When will the expected improvements in performance be realised?
Who is accountable for the expected benefit and is responsible for managing the change required to realise the benefits? (typically the Senior User)
Risks
Risks if the project does proceed per your plan
· In a dot point list, identify risks of implementing your project
· Underneath each risk,
iefly state your planned risk mitigation strategy for managing the identified risk
· Business/Benefit risks include such areas as:
· the validity and viability of the Project Business Case
· whether the project continues to support agency/program strategies and objectives
· the consequences to the organisation of failure or limited project success
· the stability of the business areas involved
· program requirements
· legislative changes
· political factors including public opinion
· environmental issues
· impact on the customer of the results of the project
· the risks of the end-result meeting the stated requirements, but not fulfilling expectations
· stability of related processes or policies.
· privacy issues
Risks if the project does not proceed
State the risks to Gaming Galore if this project does not proceed. Mitigation strategies are not required for this section.
Costs
A best estimate of the costs entailed in the project should be made. Any unknowns or uncertainties should be clearly stated, as should the approach to resolving these uncertainties. Detail on the costing assumptions should be outlined in the costing model table below.
The following table provides indicative costs for delivery of the project and likely on-going operational, maintenance and support needs for the project’s deliverables.
The expected life of the project’s deliverables (benefits provided) is
years.
(Costs from Idea definition to project close and default 3 years worth of recu
ent costs.
Refer to your textbook for a definition of “total cost of ownership” and for an example costing table to gather ideas. Your answer must factor in training for your staff.

The table below should include both Financial and Non-financial costs.
Financial cost examples include: Vendor Costs, Maintenance and Support (Annual licences), Software, employee, contractor costs
A non-financial cost example is employee dissatisfaction / loss of productivity

Discussion of costs and benefits
· Write a couple of paragraphs discussing/justifying your budgeted costs and comparing them to costs if you chose not to proceed with the cloud project.
· Compare the aggregated benefits and costs (financial and non-financial). The objective is to be able to define the value of a project as an investment.
Sources of advice
· Given the cloud solution you have recommended, identify a minimum of 3 sources of advice the business could approach if they have issues with their IT system. For example, MYOB has a help website.
· Provide an example situation where it would be advisable to contact each source of advice.
Project approach
Options analysis
Before any planning of the project can be done, decisions must be made regarding how the work of the project is going to be approached. For example, will the solution be developed in-house or contracted to third parties? Will the solution be a modification to an existing product, or built from scratch? Will the solution be based on a commercial off-the-shelf product or something that is custom-designed? The selected project approach will affect the timescale and costs of the project, plus possibly its scope and quality.
Analyse available delivery solutions and recommend the most appropriate option after considering alignment with agency/program/industry standards, operations and maintenance implications and training needs etc. Add further options, as required.
Completing this section co
ectly will make AT3 (the implementation plan) much easier.
Option 1 – Do nothing to cu
ent IT implementation
Provide a description of the option. This would be a summary of their cu
ent IT implementation and identification of workarounds to the identified risks.
Option 2 -
Provide a detailed description of your proposed cloud solution.
Comparison of options
There are several methods of comparing options against each other in terms of how they best meet the combination of key requirements. The table in this section of the template displays a simple comparison matrix. The aim of this section is to provide a straight-forward analysis that presents sufficient insight to judge the validity of the recommended approach.
Analysis
Option 1
Option 2
Alignment to agency or industry standards and practices
Operations, maintenance and support implications
Skill development and training issues
Risks
Cost estimate
Recommended approach
Identify which of the options in the previous analysis is the recommended approach. If there is not a clear ‘best option’, then it should be substantiated why the prefe
ed option was selected.
The project approach most appropriate to delivering the project product and achieving the outline Project Business Case is
.
Timeframes
The table below outlines an indicative timeframe for the delivery of this project:
Start date
What is the required start date for this project? Make this up, but ensure it is a reasonable estimate.
End date
What is the required/anticipated end date for this project? Make this up, but ensure it is a reasonable estimate.
Milestones
Expected timeframe
Identify key milestones. A milestone should be a key point in your project that, when completed, indicates a clear step towards the project conclusion.
For example: installation of new computers would be a sensible first step if the old hardware is out of date.
Identify the expected timeframes (ensure timeframe falls within the project start/end date)
Stakeholders, users and any other known interested parties
Outline the stakeholders who have a specific interest in this project. This interest may be from a project delivery perspective; use of the products produced in the project; or their business may be impacted by the outcomes of this project.
· Identify all teams/people that will be involved in the project (including any external help you want to hire if that is planned
udgeted for)

Project definition
Background and objectives
· Gaming Galore is a family-owned company and has been doing great business, but because of the recent expansion which the company did it wants to see the options which can be undertaken to take the company operations to the cloud. The report outlines various measures that the company can for upgrading the systems
· The cu
ent IT system of the company is at the old version which was updated in 2011
· The cu
ent IT system is more like a manual which gives rise to organisational issues like tampering with the data, and other related activities which are also unethical and can be illegal at times
· The project objectives are as follows:
· To take the whole IT system to the cloud by implementing a cloud structure within 6 months
· The cu
ent IT infrastructure is used for bookkeeping from invoice generation to the final sales activity, the cu
ent IT system is slow which causes problems with the software not being up to date which is causing security issues
Outline Project Business Case
Relationship to Gaming Galore strategies and objectives
· Gaming Galore is a ‘for profit’ organization which means that the company is doing business to earn profit. The goals will assist the company in achieving its objectives by spending fewer hours and resources on the IT infra which will increase the profit
· The strategy of Gaming Galore is to expand, and not be dependent on one person for all the needs, and this deployment of the project will help by reducing the dependencies and connecting all the stores
Business options
· The different options that could satisfy the goal of the project are:
· Not doing anything: This means that the company keep the cu
ent IT infra and uses it till the time it is dead
· Do the minimum: The company keeps the cu
ent IT infra and just updates the software
· Do something more substantial: By upgrading the complete IT infra and moving it to the cloud. Here the company can implement various cloud options like Database management, etc.
· A suggested approach is to consider moving the complete account system which the company has cu
ently to Xero or MYOB Essentials which are cloud-based accounting solutions

ect and timely manner therefore with the implementation of a new cloud-based accounting software the timely and co
ect calculation will be done which will allow the firm to automate the payout and make sure that it does not miss out on any payment
· Also, the cu
ent system which is used by the firm is outdated which mean that some of the tax related activities have to be manually inserted which is not good and therefore the revamp is needed
